Distiller Notes
Pleasant woody and oaky aromas lead into caramel, toffee, brown sugar and hints of cherry. The lavish and complex flavors are smooth and sweet, with a gentle warming leading to a long finish. Named for the Town Branch waterway upon which Lexington was founded and which was once the site of much bourbon production, Town Branch Bourbon celebrates Lexington's rich distilling history.
Pairs well with most meats, especially beef. Mushrooms, truffle and anything else with an earthy flavor. Desserts with notes of nuts and caramel.
Proof: 90
Although Bourbon may be produced anywhere in the United States, it is most commonly associated with Bourbon County, Kentucky, where it has been produced since the late 18th century. Made from a mash bill containing at least 51% corn, the Bourbon Whiskey distillate must be aged in new, charred white oak barrels. Bourbon Whiskeys are bottled at eighty proof (40% abv) or higher and cannot contain any added color or flavor. A versatile spirit that can be sipped neat, with water or on the rocks, it also performs nicely added to cocktails like the Old Fashioned.
